@asiyaislam @LSEGenderTweet @LSEnews As a fellow alum I just think this is absolutely brilliant news. They are so lucky to have you and I wish you the best of luck, Asiya.

@drmelaniebell Wow congratulations Melanie! 🎉

Honoured to win the Screen Essay Award for my research on costume design and making. Huge thanks to Screen's editorial board for their fantastic support and the amazing women who costumed British cinema 🎥 🪡 🧵

@maitrayeedeka0 Amazing, was rooting for her. We need more sociologists in government. ❤️

Watched the #TraitorsUS S2 reunion where #Peppermint gave words to exactly how I was feeling about being voted out first as the first trans woman in the show. #JohnBercow pipes in with a useless point defending the choice "as going with evidence"! UK parliamentary politics now.

This Friday I am speaking to AL teachers on why reading Butler has been formative for me as a feminist thinker and why her ideas on gender as performative, iterative, and socially co-constituted continues to be vital in critically opposing transphobia and racism today.

If Goldsmiths - with a very strong & active union - can get away with sacking nearly 100 people for spurious financial reasons, then I shudder to think about what's next for other universities. Please send messages of support to @GoldsmithsUCU & donate to gofundme.com/f/help-goldsmi…

@rishie_ This is so disrespectful, gosh, really really low! The amount of rage I am holding ATM...

Beautiful #LondonPride to us all! Let's abolish fascist trans hate. Let's make surrogacy and abortion and hormones freely and abundantly available. Let's abolish the family. Let's bring hammers down on heteropatriarchy.

Anyways. Black and brown folks will learn the Labour Party is no longer for them. Because even in the face of easy victory they’re throwing us under the bus

@luytioco You are so right!! I was thinking of booking some leave in July, but now I just want to keep going and take a leave in Aug. The timing for this conference is actually great!

This morning My desk 4 am. Was so burnt out mid-June after a whole academic year of teaching new modules, long commute and on and off sickness. #ica24 and the gorgeous oceanic bounty in Australia has given me back my body, passion for writing and ideas I was dithering on.

MAJOR CAMPAIGN VICTORY! The @A4PCoalition + UMAW campaign demanding that SXSW drop weapons manufacturers and war profiteers is successful! This is a huge win accomplished by the hard work of activists & the principled artists who withdrew their labor in solidarity with Palestine.

Keir Starmer says he opposes schools teaching young people about trans issues & identities Trans identity is real. This is a cruel abuse of trans kids They need love & support - not negation & dismissal thepinknews.com/2024/06/25/kei… thepinknews.com/2024/06/25/kei…

@JunLIU_UCPH This was a fabulous panel chock-filled with brilliant work. Thanks so much for your wonderful chairing.
